A recent Windows 8 update has triggered a problem
where the program will close when the File Open
dialog is selected for choosing a file to
open. We notice that the problem does not seem to
happen if the Pattern Maker window is not maximized to
fill the screen.
Please see this page for a preliminary update that fixes this problem.
